I love Colorado. Regardless of how often I might complain about the increasing traffic and the ridiculous housing prices, I still can’t convince myself to call anywhere else home. And if I’m honest, I can’t really blame myself either. It is too gorgeous here to ever want to leave. Whether you stick to the Rocky Mountains and central Colorado, or you venture out to all four corners of our beloved state, you will be presented with nature’s beauty wherever you go. Thankfully, we Coloradans have recognized how blessed we are and have multiple State Parks to prove it.
So, in order to share all of this wonderful goodness with you all, I am going to visit all 48 Colorado State Parks and write a review/guide to all of them. It’s an idea that I have been chewing on for a few months (my standard rumination period being between three months and eternity), and I think I am finally ready to commit. It is a goal that is:
- Financially Plausible (number one on the list for an important and realistic reason)
- Physically Possible (albeit bound to challenge me at times, but hey, who knows, maybe it will make me a healthier person)
- Inclusive of Multiple Passions (Adventuring, writing, taking photos, and laughing at myself to name a few, besides, I’m pretty sure spending countless hours in nature instead of on Instagram is like a panacea for my mental health)
So, I hope you will join me on this endeavor (maybe even keep me accountable). I don’t know how long it will take, because I also have to work to pay my bills, but regardless of how long it takes, I am excited for the journey.
